[Marketing] Re: Where 2.0 2009

[Cameron Shorter]

Paul,
I agree where 2.0 is certainly a conference worth attending. And you 
frame the business case well. "Spend money marketing at Where 2.0 and 
expect sponsorship". Are you willing to hazard a guess at possible 
revenue gained from the conference?

I suggest you read the "Howto set up an OSGeo stand" wiki for ideas. (ah 
- wiki not written yet, gosh it would be great if someone wrote it).

Nathalie,
I'd like to hear a response from locals on this, but in Australia OSGeo 
and Autodesk have exhibited next to each other a number of times and it 
worked well for us.
